If you are adding an A record to one of your already created Forward Lookup Zones, then it will add the FQDN to the record, since you are adding an A record into that zone.

If you want to use a completely different domain name, add a new Forward Lookup Zone: right click on Forward Lookup Zones and click New Zone. Using the wizard, create a new primary zone called 'domain.cm' (without quotes). Once it's created, open the zone and add a 'mail' A record with the server's IP.

Ultimately, this question boiled down to the SAN on my SSL cert. Because the naming was mismatched on my internal FQDN, I thought I was missing a DNS record internally. Thank you guys very much, sorry for the misconstrued question.
